We’re splitting the old Technical Feedback thread, starting from when we moved to Discourse. There are a lot of questions in these first few days (as there will be in the weeks to come) which I think would be easier to address separately from a thread for long-term questions about Discourse’s quirks and potential technical issues (which we have not made yet, given how new everything is). We’ve also archived the old Tech Feedback thread as its questions and answers mostly pertained to Flarum.
Please post all questions and/or tutorial info for other users here!
The forum annoucement providing a link to the old forum states we eventually won’t have access to the old forum anymore.
Just to clarify, are we talking about days? weeks? I can manually save and export here some old pictures and/or try to reformat some posts to match their original format but I need to know how much time I have to do so. Thanks.
Hey chaz. So we haven’t really decided. I have considered a week. But if people feel they need more time I can provide it. Though it can’t be open ended!
You should be able to edit your posts now. Right now there is probably a delay in being able to edit because of “trust levels” on discord. We can bump people up levels right now but I think that is tied to being able to edit old posts Understanding Discourse Trust Levels
Thanks, understood. I think the best scenario would be to announce a clear deadline, at least a week ahead of schedule (and probably make the deadline a Monday), to help all members set some time in the remaining week so that they can salvage important pictures and/or double check the original formatting of some Flarum posts.
My worry is, if I understand the Discourse trust levels properly, most users will easily get to Level 2, but this mean they will only be able to edit posts up created until 60 days ago (right?). Or does Discourse consider all the recently imported posts to be a few days old? (That would be a helpful oversight!)
I’m in the same boat with a few threads, most significantly the big polls and the flight sim one. Looks like I’ll need to be bumped up to level 4 to be able to reformat those
Completely agree with the schedule and announcing! I definitely will not be deleting anything without proper notice.
With editing older than 30 or 60 days posts. The only way to do that is giving people level 4 trust. Which gives you a lot abilities on top of editing. So it’s only something I can temporarily give people right now. I have given it to you. So you can go edit that thread and others if you’d like!
Is there a way to change my username? My username was 穴 but i think it was automatically changed to ana by discourse. just want to see if i can go to my old username or if I have to think of a new username
also how long does getting to level 4 take? just asking because i saw how broken my art jam threads are
If possible Id like my username to be changed as well. When I initially created my account years ago the username I chose was a stupid reference to Cocomelon and seeing it again surprised me. If its possible I’d like it to just be Toph, please.
